There are a number of aspects that come with the use of YouTube for conservative videos. A big part of different conservative videos is that they can cover topics relating to freedom, abortion, gun rights and many other issues that conservatives have strong opinions about. Videos can really help people discover all sorts of aspects that come with the general points that all could enjoy watching for all kinds of particular aspects on conservative opinions.

Some people have gone out to buy YouTube views for these videos. While it’s true that buying YouTube views for all of these videos can be effective when it comes to getting a video to become easier to find on a search engine, this is a particular need to see just why so many people are willing to stick with these view-purchasing services.

The Political Scene is Competitive

The biggest reason why people buy real YouTube views through Viewsaccelerator is to make it easier for their videos to be spotted online. Videos are easier to find when they have more views, subscribers and likes. YouTube’s search engine places all of these points into consideration when getting videos to become more visible.

This is especially important for when it comes to conservative news and views. The political scene has changed to where conservatives and liberals are struggling with one another in terms of figuring out who’s going to be on top for now and into the future. Conservatives are willing to use social media to their advantage and one way how they can benefit from social media is to buy YouTube views for all their videos.

It’s To Lure In New Subscribers

Conservative video channels are easier to find when they have more subscribers. Therefore, many people who buy these views will do this to get more people to discover different videos that are relevant to the topics that they want to discuss in particular.

People will eventually want to subscribe to a channel and share its views with others if they are appreciative of what they want to offer. This could really be to anyone’s advantage if it is done with care and creates a good sense of recognition for whatever people want to discuss.

They Want To Trigger a Discussion

One good aspect that comes with many different conservative videos is that they encourage a healthy sense of debate between people of all sorts. People can talk with one another with regards to such things as how different aspects of how the government is to be run and what types of laws need to be utilized in society.

A good conservative video can allow people to learn about all sorts of aspects relating to different kinds of political facts and topics. Anyone can discover a good series of facts that might influence their opinions when they watch these videos.

Of course, this also allows people on the liberal side to begin to discover that their views may not be as good as they might think. This could be done with care in order to make it all effective and ready for the needs that all would want to enjoy.

There’s always going to be a need for people to take a careful look at different YouTube videos with regards to political topics. People will have to take a closer look at different videos to recognize and learn about different political viewpoints. It is no surprise that many people in the political sector are using YouTube to their advantage in order to highlight their values and beliefs. YouTube can really be a useful website for educating people about conservative opinions and it is no secret that buying YouTube views can really be important for all conservatives to consider.

As of late, there has been a lot of national coverage opposing the surge of new wave smoking devices such as the electronic cigarette and the hookah pen. Naturally, most conservative parties strongly identify with this abolition movement and seek to regulate such devices as we do traditional tobacco products. These pro-regulation parties often state that no long-term studies have been done on the health effects of these products and they can further corrupt our youth by offering a gateway to other more dangerous vices.

As a non-smoker, I have no particular interest in such items. This being said, I want to go on record saying that I believe we should take a step back and analyze the bigger picture. Electronic cigarettes are meant to aid efforts in smoking cessation, not offer a gateway to traditional tobacco products. If they truly help individuals quit the number one cause of lung cancer, I think that God has purposefully injected them into mainstream culture for a reason. At this point, the true question is if they are as effective as they claim to be.

My research has built a strong case for keeping electronic cigarettes as accessible as possible. Major news outlets, such as BBC and FOX, have gone on the books declaring the safety and efficacy of products like e-hookahs. A recent BBC video, found below, highlights the lung capacity before smoking an electronic cigarette versus smoking a traditional cigarette. Unsurprisingly to myself and pro-electronic cigarette users alike, the individual’s lung capacity was much better (whatever that metric may be) after the Blu e-cig.

Nicotine has been proven to not be an issue, either. In a recent UK study conducted by Dr Le Houezec, a controlled group of lab rats inhaled nicotine for two years. After this two year period, there were no identifiable effects from this trial. Dr. Houezec commented on this study as being “..reassuring” that digital smoking would not produce any harm over a long-term period.

This is one of may reports in favor of the safety of these devices. Strangely enough, there are very few reports indicating any harmful issues that can arise out of using these items. Those reports that do exist are not well-backed. So, if health concerns are not an issue, what is?

There are continuous concerns of said products being the devil’s gateway to more sinister vices such as traditional smoking and worse. Absolutely no research has been done proving this to be the case. In fact, most users typically switch from traditional to digital smoking as a means to ween themselves off of harmful tobacco, buying the products in convenience stores or online shops.

Want my opinion? The lord has put these devices in our hands to save lives. I personally know several individuals who have made the switch and are now as healthy as they have ever been. A strange coincidence? I think not. Electronic cigarettes were put on this earth to save live, not hurt us and tempt us to further sin. So, my opinion: Why would we regulate a gift from God?

Palcohol will be made in two distinct formulations, a Drink Formulation (ingestible) and an Industrial Formula (non ingestible).
Beverage Formula: In its drink formula, Palcohol has several uses and is for the valid and responsible enjoyment by lawful consumers:

Outdoor Activity Uses: Palcohol is a godsend to outside enthusiasts such as campers, tramps and others who desired to appreciate adult beverages responsibly without having the undue weight of taking heavy bottles of fluid.

Travel Uses: Similarly, adult voyagers journeying to destinations far from dwelling could handily and lawfully carry their favored cocktail in powder format. Moderate quantities of flavored Palcohol merchandises carried in resealable pouches are a fraction of bulk and the weight related with traditional liquor packaging.

Hospitality Uses: Because powdered booze is so light, air lines can decrease the weight on a plane by serving powdered vs. liquid alcohol and save millions on fuel prices. An ice cream maker wants to add Palcohol to their ice cream to make an “adult” variant. Because it would save them so much on transport from the mainland a hotel in Hawaii is fascinated in powdered booze. That nest eggs in shipping prices would be attractive to many resorts who rely on imported booze.

Industrial Formula (non ingestible): The industrial formula, distinct from your consumer formula, has many potential positive uses in business. People have contacted us with several in head. Of course, till Palcohol gets authorities acceptance, we can not know precisely what the uses will be. Examples comprise:

Medical Applications: We Have had medical employees contact us about utilizing Palcohol as an antiseptic, especially in remote places where volume and weight allow it to be difficult to carry supplies.

Production Uses: Several businesses have contacted us about using powdered booze in their company. A livestock nutritional supplement business needs to utilize it. A Swedish and a Canadian inquired about utilizing it in their windshield wiper liquid. Because Palcohol is radical merchandise and such a new, there will likely many more uses detected.

On June 20, 1676, the governing council of Charlestown,
Massachusetts, held a meeting to determine how best to express
thanks to God, for the good fortune that had seen their community securely established. By unamimous vote they instructed Edward Rawson, the clerk, to proclaim June 29 as a day of thanksgiving, our first. That proclamation is reproduced here
in the same language and spelling as the original.

“The Holy God having by a long and Continual Series
of his Afflictive dispensations in and by the present Warr
with the Heathen Natives of this land, written and brought
to pass bitter things against his own Covenant people in this
wilderness, yet so that we evidently discern that in the midst
of his judgements he hath remembered mercy, having remembered
his Footstool in the day of his sore displeasure against us for
our sins, with many singular Intimations of his Fatherly Compassion, and regard…”

The Council has thought meet to appoint and set apart the
29th day of this instant June, as a day of Solemn Thanksgiving
and praise to God for such his Goodness and Favour, many

By Jennie A. Brownscombe [1914]

The Pilgrim Society

Particulars of which mercy might be Instanced, but we doubt not
those who are sensible of God’s Afflictions, have been as diligent
to espy him returning to us; and that the Lord may behold us as
a People offering Praise and thereby glorifying Him; the Council
doth commend it to the Respective Ministers, Elders and people
of this Jurisdiction; Solemnly and seriously to keep the same
Beseeching that being perswaded by the mercies of God we may all,
even this whole people offer up our bodies and soulds as a
living and acceptable Service unto God by Jesus Christ.”

Psalm 96

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Settlers held first Thanksgiving at Berkeley Plantation on
December 4, 1619, a year before the Pilgrims arrived at Plymouth.

Charles Miller / Richmond Times-Dispatch

Each first Sunday in November a Thanksgiving Festival is held at the Berkeley Plantation in accordance with documentation from 1619. The event fulfills instructions given to the 38 settlers who arrived on the banks of the James River at Berkeley as documented in the proclamation:

“Wee ordaine that the day of our ships arrival at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually kept holy as a day of thanksgiving to Almighty God.“

The first Thanksgiving occurred when Captain John Woodlief led the newly-arrived English colonists to a grassy slope along the James River and instructed them to drop to their knees and pray in thanks for a safe arrival to the New World. It was December 4, 1619, and 38 men from Berkeley Parish in England vowed: “Wee ordaine that the day of our ships arrivall at the place assigned for plantacon in the land of Virginia shall be yearly and perpetually keept holy as a day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God.” You’ll find their vow carved on a brick gazebo marking the location believed to be where Woodlief knelt beside the James River.

Celebrate the 1619 landing of the original colonists at Berkeley Plantation. Join us at the site of the First Official Thanksgiving in America, for a day dedicated to history, food, and fun with tours of the 1726 mansion, walks in the colorful autumn gardens and a formal living history program.

It being the indispensable duty of all Nations, not only to offer up
their supplications to ALMIGHTY GOD, the giver of all good, for his
gracious assistance in a time of distress, but also in a solemn and
public manner to give him praise for his goodness in general, and
especially for great and signal interpositions of his providence in
their behalf.

The Library of Congress — By the President of the United States of America, a Proclamation. Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.

A copy of George Washington’s Thanksgiving Proclamation as it appeared in The Massachusetts Centinel newspaper, Wednesday, October 14, 1789.

That summer of 1621 was beautiful. Much work went into the building of new dwellings, and ten men were sent north up the coast in the sailing shallop to conduct trade with the Indians. Squanto once again acted as their guide and interpreter. It was a successful trip, and that fall’s harvest provided more than enough corn to see them through their second winter.

Many of my happiest memories as a young man, and now as the head of my own household, come from Thanksgiving. Traditionally, Thanksgiving has been a day where our dearest loved ones gather around the table and feast, followed by a time of poetry reading, Scripture recitations, song, more feasting, and family story telling. But more than anything, Thanksgiving has come to be a time when we focus as a family on gratitude. It is a time to humble ourselves in the face of God’s great mercy, and to chronicle the providences and blessings of God in our life. One of the blessings for which we are most grateful is you — the many friends of Vision Forum. So this year, the Phillips family wants to begin our Thanksgiving celebration by sharing seven simple recommendations for your own day of thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day as we know it today in America actually had its beginning in England before the 1600′s. Beginning in 1517 (the year Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the All Saints Church in Wittenberg, Germany) the Protestant Reformation began. The word Protestant, refers to those individuals who protested the manner in which the Roman Catholic Church operated, and protested the doctrines it taught. This Protestant Reformation continued for many years, and in a sense it still continues today, but in many different forms and against many different enemies.

In a recent essay, Jeffrey Tucker observed: “turkey isn’t delicious.” He then went on at considerable length to show how to make a meal of turkey more delicious ­ and how not to cook the bird. He misses the point. He confuses ends with means. Mr. Tucker knows a lot about preparing turkey. I don’t. I do know a lot about eating turkey. And let me say from the start: Thanksgiving dinner is not about eating turkey. It’s about stuffing yourself with a high-fat, low-nutrition food that is socially questionable except at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thanksgiving dinner is a revered middle-class celebration in America precisely because the middle class won’t allow itself the culinary debauchery of a food that lower-class families in the South have delighted in for three centuries, several times a week. That food is gravy. I don’t mean wimpy, light-colored turkey juice gravy. I mean thick, brown, clogs-your-arteries gravy.

As the United States enters an even more politically correct era in 2014, religion in schools is still a hot button topic. Religion is widely viewed as not being allowed in schools. At the very least, teachers are not allowed to conduct lessons which feature religion, nor are they allowed to express their religious beliefs to the class. However, the issue of religion in schools is still a murky one. Public schools are not allowed to mandate a morning prayer before the start of classes, yet private schools are free to do so. This leads to much confusion, as the right to free speech comes into question.

One recent story featured on the website www.foxnews.com highlights a pending legal case which questions the ways school districts and administrators handle religion in schools. First grader Brynn Williams brought the Star of Bethlehem from the top of her Christmas tree to show to her classmates. The previous day, the class was instructed to bring something from home which represented a Christmas tradition. Once Brynn began to explain the meaning behind the Star of Bethlehem, and how it represented the star which the three kings followed to find baby Jesus, her teacher stopped her. The teacher quickly informed her that talking about religion in school was not allowed.

Subsequently, Brynn was in tears when her mother picker her up from school. She felt that she had done something wrong, and that she was in trouble. The teacher surely picked a poor way to handle the situation, by addressing the issue in front of the whole class. It is highly unlikely that a first grader would intend to press his or her beliefs on others. Yet, the teacher made Brynn feel as if she was in trouble, in front of the whole class. The principal sided with the teacher after Brynn made her presentation to her as well. The family has hired an attorney because they feel that their daughter was unfairly singled out, and they plan to file a suit against the school district of changes are not made.

This story highlights a tricky situation in America’s public schools. Most public schools still recite the Pledge of Allegiance, which features the phrase, “under God.” What this does is it leads to confusion for many students who grow up in Christian households. Why should they be made to feel that they are doing something wrong, simply because they believe in God? Many people argue that free speech allows more taboo subjects to be discussed in schools, so why not religion?

A big part of the problem is that general perceptions have been changing steadily over the years. Many students, particularly on the middle and high school levels, face ridicule from fellow classmates over their religious beliefs. Society as a whole is turning on its Christian students. Many students face hostility and risk being ostracized for their beliefs by their friends. Most schools preach tolerance, yet when it comes to voicing your opinion on religion, schools shy away.

As long as someone is not forcing their religious beliefs on you, then that person has a right to voice his or her opinions about what they believe in. Yet, as it stands, many students face public persecution for the things they believe the most in. If we truly are a country which values every person’s beliefs, then we should act like it. However, the way things stand now, students who believe in God face an uphill battle. The school system needs to take a careful look at how they choose to address religion within the classroom.

Chris Christie used to be highly regarded due to his response after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the northeastern United States. His efforts helped the residents of New Jersey to bounce back after Sandy left nothing but carnage in its wake. Yet, in recent weeks Christie has become embroiled in a scandal. This scandal is now being referred to as the “bridge scandal.” It all started when word came out that the lane closures on the George Washington Bridge which occurred on September 9, 2013, were purposeful. As it turns out, some people are claiming that Governor Christ Christie ordered the lane closures to punish a democratic mayor who did not support his re-election bid.

This case continues to progress each day. Most recently, 20 subpoenas were issued for people within New Jersey’s local government. Chris Christie has acquired the services of an attorney. The Governor took immediate action after word of the scandal first broke, firing at least 2 aides. He claimed that he had no prior knowledge that the lanes on the George Washington Bridge were going to be shut down. Many people are disputing these claims, however, and for good reason. One women was trying to get to her dentist in Boston but there was no possible way. There are apparently e-mail messages which clearly show correspondence between Christie and some of his aides. These e-mails appear to validate that Christie was behind the lane closures.

The resulting traffic jam caused many people to be late for work, and accidents ensued. If the allegations are true, then Governor Christie stands to lose a lot. He is widely considered to be the best Republic candidate for a Presidential nomination. However, IT certification issues like this, are bad for jobs and whether they are proven true or not, bring unwanted negative attention to any potential candidate. In addition to poor publicity, the legality of such actions must come into question. Currently, there are multiple ongoing inquiries being conducted in regard to the scandal.

Politics can be a dirty business, and all parties deviate from the script at some point. The republican party needs to become relevant again as it pertains to their next Presidential nomination. Past candidates have simply been unqualified or viewed as weak. Chris Christie is supposed to provide a breath of fresh air for the republican party. He was mostly respected by the American people prior to the bridge scandal for his efforts during the Sandy relief clean up, as well as other humanitarian work. He exhibits many of the qualities that you look for in a President. He has confidence, is smart and he knows how to get what he wants.

Unfortunately for Christie, this scandal is painting him as a bully, or, as one news article put it, “a my way or the highway” kind of guy. His forthright demeanor and big personality won him over with the public before. However, a scandal such as this one can take those qualities and turn them against you. What once was viewed as confidence is now viewed as bullying behavior. It might be hard to dispute that, if the bridge allegations turn out to be true.

The GOP needs positive publicity these days. It seems as if many hopeful candidates continuously find themselves embroiled in controversy. True, those on the democratic side are not immune to controversy either. The reality of the situation is that recent actions show that this is not a situation which will just go away. Christie tried to “fire” the scandal away, by releasing to top aides, and thus making them scapegoats. In actuality, it is going to take much more than that to free him from this mess, as the GOP needs this storm to pass as quickly as possible.

On September 11, 2012, a group of between 125 and 150 gunmen attacked a United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya. The resulting attack killed U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens, as well as 2 additional U.S. security personnel in a neighboring CIA annex the following day. There is considerable controversy surrounding the circumstances of the incident. White House officials initially called the attack a protest over an anti-Islam film. However, evidence suggests that this was much more than that. Both compounds came under heavy fire from automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades. Protests usually do not feature this sort of weaponry.

Someone needs to tell them to just relax and try to get along. They need to try an anti violence & anti-bully program for schools, helping communities fight back against violence in our streets. Give away some rainbow bracelets like the ones found at bestrainbowloom.com.

Many people have accused President Barack Obama for knowingly deceiving the public regarding the circumstances of the incident. Interviews with survivors of the incident suggests that everyone at the compounds was under the impression that they were under attack by terrorists. These interviews were conducted for three days between September 15th and 17th. This suggests that the incident was still fresh on the minds of the survivors as well. There are people within the government and outside of it who firmly believe that the White House made a concerted effort to cover up the attack by suggesting it was a protest which got out of control.

There are several reasons why the benghazi incident must be viewed as terrorism as opposed to being an uprising. The first main reason is the coordination of the attack. This attack happened swiftly, and with military precision. Actions were taken to quickly dispatch all personnel at the consulate, and to flush out those inside by setting fires. Nobody inside the compound even had a chance. Heavy mortar fire was used as well, and this is what specifically killed the two U.S. security personnel. Protesters do not have access to mortars. Also, mortars require a degree of skill to fire accurately. Targets must be dialed in correctly in order for them to be the most effective.

Additionally, the Benghazi incident occurred on September 11, 2012, which is the same day that the World Trade Center was attacked in 2001. This date has become significant for many terrorist organization. It is widely viewed as a victory for Al-Qaeda operatives, and many enemies of the United States capitalize on the notoriety gained from such a tragic event. So, it should come as no surprise that the United States’ interests become in danger each time the anniversary of the tragedy comes. Extra security measures should have been taken.

Perhaps the most tragic part of all, is that people within the U.S. consulate sensed that an attack was imminent. Giving those suckers the silent treatment like these people did might not be a bad idea. Requests were made to bolster security forces around the compound in late August of 2012. These requests were made because there was a general consensus that the Al Qaeda threat had increased. The Obama administration failed to provide the additional security which was requested. Undersecretary Patrick Kennedy initially claimed that all additional security requests has been met. However, upon further review, he finally admitted the cold shoulder that at least particularly important request had not been met.

The Benghazi attack should be viewed as a reminder to all of what can happen when people do not see eye to eye regarding certain situations. Politics often cloud the judgement of others, and the results can be tragic. People who own their mistakes become better people for it. They can rest comfortably, knowing that they have been honest. Covering up an event of this magnitude is both irresponsible and dangerous. Hopefully more light will be shed on this tragic incident, in order to prevent such a thing from ever occurring again.

The confinement of Americans overseas is nothing new. Since there has been war, there has been capture of soldiers and citizens alike. The circumstances surrounding the capture of these individuals often plays a major part that the U.S. government takes in securing their release. Sometimes efforts are made to free these individuals, and sometimes they are not made. The United States has a long standing policy regarding negotiations with terrorists; no negotiations. Yet, this never quit fighting policy ends up leaving some of those who serve the U.S. feeling abandoned.

Warren Weinstein was captured within his home in Lahore, Pakistan, on August 20, 2011. He was just finishing plans to return to the United States before he was abducted. The abduction occurred through trickery. His captors posed as neighbors offering food, when they pistol-whipped him and his appointed driver.He has been confined for 3 years, and his captors periodically send out proof-of-life videos which depict him pleading for help from the United States. His captors want the release of several Al Qaeda operatives in exchange for Weinstein’s release. The White House is unwilling to meet these demands.

Another highly publicized incident involves Kenneth Bae, a former Washington resident, has been sentenced to serve 15 years of imprisonment for allegedly setting up bases in North Korea to topple the government. His sentencing occurred in April, 2013. The allegations are at best, ridiculous, and they further dissolve any hope of a meaningful relationship between North Korea and the United States. Kenneth Bae’s family has only spoken to him a few times during the last 14 months, and they are concerned for his safety. Nobody really knows what happens to people who are in labor camps in North Korea. The U.S. government has been accused of not doing enough to secure his release.

The overriding tragedy in situations like these is not the fact that they occurred, but rather the responses they get. Much of the American public is arguably not even aware of the Kenneth Bae situation. The fact that someone could be accused and convicted of such treasonous acts without due process is just appalling. Yet, there is not enough public outcry to garner support for his release. The relationships which the U.S. and its allies have with other countries complicate matters. This isn’t to say that the U.S. should attempt to open full dialogue with North Korea again. Leader Kim Jong-un has showed hi ruthless behavior in the execution of his own uncle, whom he accused of conspiring against the government.

U.S. government officials need to take a hard look at policies regarding prisoners who feel abandoned in other countries. It would be one thing if they committed an egregious act. Those who do should be tried under law and convicted, if they are guilty. However, as a country we cannot continue to sit back and allow American citizens to become imprisoned for outrageous accusations. Most of the time the countries who convict these people do not even hold a fair trial. It appears that many of those who find themselves in these situations are mere political pawns and been to make their own beds, and that, really is a shame.

While open communication is not possible with countries who continually support terrorism, there does need to be an overhaul to policy. Many lives can be saved if a better method is constructed to prevent these kidnappings from happening. Ignoring the issue only serves to paint our government as a group of people who only serve others abroad when it is convenient for them to do so. In contrast, caving into demands of other countries paints America as weak as well. Finding the right diplomatic middle ground is a challenge that the U.S. must be willing to accept.

We often hear about wars which effect U.S. assets across the world, and we recognize how these wars have a direct impact on our freedom. Yet, when it comes to domestic wars, there seems to be a lot of confusion about what to do. The attacks of September 11, 2001, marked a change in the way Americans viewed terrorism. It marked the beginning of tighter security measures along U.S. borders as well and a change to get rid of these stupid house arrests issues and throw people in jail. The border that we share with Mexico continues to stir international debate. Residents and border patrol agents struggle to stem the flow of immigrants, guns and drugs from crossing back and forth between the two countries.

Recently, increased violence on both the Mexican and American sides has brought more attention to the border problem. While many of the immigrants who cross the border illegally are simply seeking work, many more are engaging in criminal activities. This leads to highly publicized gang warfare which sometimes spills onto U.S. soil. Gangs fight for the right to control certain areas to maximize the sale of their drugs. They use children and brutal tactics to carry out slayings of rival gang members, and even of Mexican police officers. Beheadings are not uncommon in these areas, either.

Human trafficking is another big problem that the U.S. faces on its border with Mexico. Immigrant workers pay traffickers to smuggle groups of people from Mexico to the U.S. Sometimes these people have to sleep in the back of trucks or on a wall bed with 5 or more people. These trips can last for many days, as more groups are attempting to cross the border in areas which contain minimum supervision. The results of these border crossings can be tragic. Entire families have been found dead in certain dessert regions, due to a lack of food and water. Sometimes the traffickers who promise them safe passage end up leaving them behind to die in the heat. Read more about this at KenSav.com

Drug trafficking continues to be the main problem in regard to protecting the border of the U.S. Border agents do a good job of checking vehicles at border stops. They conduct thorough searches of every cavity inside a car to eliminate potential hiding places for the drugs. Sometimes the drug cartels use women and children to hide the drugs and to attempt to get them over the border. They might offer the promise of work or money in exchange for trafficking the drugs. Deportation and imprisonment of young mothers is a tricky proposition for the U.S. to take on, and lately it feels as if they are losing the battle.

Perhaps the most concerning aspect of border protection relates to terrorism. When you think of terrorism, images of soldiers fighting in Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan most likely come to mind. However, our porous border with Mexico creates much concern because it does not take much to cross onto U.S. territory. It would not be very hard for terrorists to come into the U.S. through Mexico, even if the journey is difficult for them. The U.S. has a strict policy for those who enter the country illegally, yet enforcing this policy can be extremely difficult.

The United States needs to take steps to bolster its border with Mexico. Our citizens have too much to lose to allow people who wish us harm to enter the country. The frustrating part about it is that some companies within the U.S. continue to hire illegal immigrants to accomplish cheap labor. As long as illegal immigrants are willing to work for these wages, then the problem will not stop. For many Mexican immigrants, the wages they make in the U.S., however small, are comparatively much larger than what they stand to earn on the Mexican side.
